Great news about the Koala Chlamydia vaccine and Friends of the Koala Inc. whose role in the trials helped bring it to fruition.

We are incredibly proud to share that the world-first single-dose vaccine to protect koalas from chlamydia has earned a “Special Mention” in TIME’s The Best Inventions of 2025 list.

At Friends of the Koala, we are honoured to be part of this game-changing breakthrough - supporting its roll-out and guarding against a disease that has devastated so many of our beloved furry friends.

This recognition highlights not just the innovation behind the vaccine, but the hope it brings for the future of koala conservation. 💚
